On Sunday America’s President, Joe Biden will be in Selma, Alabama to remember the 58th Bloody Sunday.
White House Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says that President Biden will give a speech in Selma about the importance and remembrance of this Bloody Sunday so that it can’t vanish from history.
58th Bloody Sunday Remembrance
She said this during her daily briefing on Friday. She also says that he will also speak about how Black Americans got the voting rights to deliver justice and civil rights.
After becoming President this was the first time Biden was going to Selma last year Vice President Harris attended the march which happened on Edmund Pettus Bridge to remember the important moments of the fight for civil rights.
- In 2021 the remembrance of Bloody Sunday was not conducted big because of the Covid-19 pandemic this year Biden is going to take part in the 58th Bloody Sunday.
- There is a work to rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
- It had been named after a Confederate General and Ku Klux Klan pioneer for the late Representative John Lewis.
Lewis was one of the noticeable activists who walked across the scaffold in Selma on Walk 7, 1965, just to experience a broke skull when Alabama state officers beat the social liberties marchers to stop their intersection. The day became known as “Bloody Sunday.”
Public clamor following the police ruthlessness at the walk hence prompted a push to pass the Democratic Freedoms Demonstration of 1965.
The current year’s Selma Celebration comes after a cyclone struck Selma and encompassed provinces, causing weighty harm and killing nine individuals.
This year’s Selma Jubilee is between March 2-5 while announcing this the jubilee organizers say that on March 7, 1965, Selma suffered a lot of a political storm.
After that on January 12, 2023, they faced another storm that ruined their city because of a Tornado and they trust that the next storm will make them stronger.
